THE ENFIELD ECHO 9 added great fame to the already glorious class of Nineteen Hundred and Tnirty-Two. Margaret Kreuger and Frances Buck charmed all with their singing. Clarence Martin, as leading man, showed excellent musical and dramatic ability. Esther Thompson added much by her excellent acting. Our Class has supported the High School showing athletic prowess in baseball, basketball, track and football, as well as tennis and golf. Last but not least, a new activity, debating, brought great honor to our high school during our Senior Year. We came within one vote of becoming state champions in debating. Julia Augustyn- iak, Robert Reilly, and Margaret Sweeney were Seniors who took part in the debates. History is a succession of causes and results. As we have tried, wholeheartedly and honestly in the past, so may we succeed in the future. May we all give thanks with the poet, Henley, who wrote: “Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” CLASS PROPHECY (By Pearl Ferrier, Alice Norian, Charles Morris, Joseph Liana) Pearl—Oh! Charles—What’s this? Joseph—Look! Alice—What happened now? (Step out carefully.) Charles—Are you sure this is Mars? Joseph—According to our calcula- tions it is. Alice—Isn’t it wonderful to think we could figure so accurately just how to come from Earth way up here on Mars. Charles — We certainly deserve credit for this. Alice—Isn’t it strange? Pearl—Look at all the funny things. Alice—What’s that thing crawling around there? Charles—Let’s look around. Joseph—No, let’s look through our actophotorator and try to see Earth. Pearl—Oh, yes, that must be the first thing we do. (Start getting it set up.) Charles—I’ll screw this on. Joseph—Put that under this. Joseph—I wonder if we can see the Earth with our actophotorator that is to enable us to see things many thou- sands of miles away. Alice—Are you setting up the ac- tophotorator here? Charles—Yes, it’s set up entirely now. Joseph—Let me lower this plate a trifie. There it’s all ready. Now focus it this way a little. Ah—there’s the Earth! Pearl—Objects, why they’re build- ings! JoseDh—It’s New York. There’s the Television City. Charles—Look! I see people com- ing out.

8 THE ENFIELD ECHO During our first year we elected class officers. Carlo Angelica became our President; Lillian Alaimo, Vice-President; Priscilla Comstock, Secretary; Everett Mallard, Treasurer; and Frances Tromley, Historian. Owing to the fact that Frances Tromley be- came Salutatorian in her Senior year, I was chosen by the Faculty to take her place in the Commencement Exercises. Being Freshmen, we remained in modest and retiring seclu- sion, during our school hours, at least, so as not to offend, in any way, the haughty upperclass students. But we soon became Sopho- mores, began to assert ourselves, and show our really splendid qual- ities. The names of many of our class were found on the honor roll, and we conducted ourselves with a dignity and wisdom which has never since been equalled. Then came the Operetta. Here Margaret Kreuger, as the snappy little French maid, showed real ability as singer and actress. During the year, we were much grieved by the sudden death of Miss Gay, Head of the Latin Department and Vice-Principal. Although she had been our teacher but a little over a year, we felt keenly the loss of such a splendid woman. Our Junior Year gave us many opportunities to distinguish ourselves. Clarence Mitchell had the leading role in the play, “Skid- ding,” and proved a capable actor. Priscilla Comstock and Mar- garet Sweeney as the two married sisters added much to the play’s success. The annual Operetta of the Junior Year featured gypsy char- acters. Bernice Squires as a gypsy mother, Margaret Kreuger, her daughter, and Clarence Martin an English fop, were very interest- ing in their respective parts. In April we had our Junior Prom. Clarence Martin and Pris- cilla Comstock acted as Host and Hostess. John Liucci with his saxophone became our leading light in music. At last came our long awaited Senior Year, with all the dig- nity and honor which rightly belongs to Seniors. Ours the proud privilege of walking out ahead of the mere lower classmen at the close of Assembly, when they remembered to wait for us. Our High School now numbered so many that separate assemblies of classes were arranged except on special occasions. In December we held our Senior Promenade with Frances Tromley as Hostess, and Wolcott Phelps, as Host. Our annual play, “Nothing but the Truth,” was presented in April. Boucher Smyth, as leading man, gave a very convincing and finished performance. Clarence Mitchell took the part of a'bishop, who was told he could get anything if he yelled loud enough. He acted accordingly. Priscilla Comstock played the part of a beautiful girl minus a beautiful voice. Clarence Martin was a prosperous business man. Lillian Sharon added clever comedy as “Mabel.” The whole play was a tremendous success. The Operetta of our Senior Year, “Jerry of Jericho Road,”

10 THE ENFIELD ECHO Alice—Don’t they look familiar? Pearl—They ought to. They’re Jennie Luczai and Josephine Giac- cone. They must be getting out of work. Charles—They’re going down the steps. Joseph—They’re buying a newspa- per. Alice—We can even read the head- lines! (Together)—“Ragno Elected Presi- dent.” Pearl — The Paramount Theater. Look at the lights and names. Boucher Smyth is playing opposite Lillian White. Alice—They always were good in love scenes at school. Pearl—An added attraction is John Liucci’s world famous orchestra. There’s the court house. Twist that other lever so we can look inside. Walter Provencher is on the bench. Joseph—Who’s at bat? Pearl—Mildred Charette is suing Charles Baumes for abusive treat- ment because he snores in his sleep. Ernest Gaudette is the prosecuting attorney. Charles—Isn’t that too bad. Let’s focus on Chicago. Alice—What’s this we see? Joseph—It’s the Opera House! Margaret Kreuger, Amelia Pilch, and Antoinette Nigro are performing lead- ing roles. Their director is Sherwood Cordner. They have just completed the one thousandth performance of that famous opera “Hothawhoopee- whichki.” Charles—And there’s William Fuge in the lobby. He’s reading the “Windy City Gossips” which is edited by Frances Sisisky, and Margaret Sweeney brings in all the latest news. Pearl—Collecting gossips used to be her hobby at high school. Alice—This is a great opportunity for us to read the news of the day. Joseph—What dees the “Windy City Gossios” say? Alice—Vincent Czipulis, a great detective and his able assistant, Helen Blaszko, are hot on the trail of Dorothy Moran who has deserted her husband and her five crying children. The Tootsie Weenie Co. is going full blast. President William Rarus an- nounces that the stock has gone up to 200. His right hand man is Joseph Rarus whose slogan is “Eat three Weenies a Day and You'll Never Weaken.” Mamie Arnone is on the payroll as private secretary. Pearl—See that big ad, “For latest styles in Ladies footwear, patronize Lillian Spazzarini and Freda Krycz.” Joseph—1 wish he’d turn the page. Alice—No sooner said than done. He’s turning it now. Pearl — Look, Clarence Martin’s picture! Charles—What’s he being arrested for now? Pearl—Clarence Martin is the newly appointed general manager of the Nutty Ape Zoo. He has just hired two well known monkey experts, Mona Foley and Wanda Bayek who are preparing to treat the zoo to a new diet. Katherine Jennings is so- journing at this most famous zoo in order to paint pictures of the animals. Charles—That’s enough of that. Joseph—Anna Stinson, dean of Kokohokum University in Indiana, has founded a new standard of rules. The girls are allowed to attend classes at their convenience. A re- quirement for graduation is that they must know how to chew gum in pub- lic. Lillian Alaimo is the professor of Bunk and Frances Tromley the pro- fessor of Blarney. Charles—There’s a big circus going on in Oshkosh, Nebraska. Mildred Knight is performing a hula-hula dance. James Parakilas is the tallest man. Alice—I wonder what ever made him grow? Charles—Josephine Mitsky, the fat- test woman in three counties is sit- ting beside him. Look! Loretta Greaves is the leader of a band of gypsies, and Anna Grant is per- forming a simply marvelous act. She’s jumping from a white horse into a quart of milk. Alice—Of all things, a Mortuary Association, a doctor, an undertaker, his assistant, an efficiency engineer, and a minister. They’re all working together. (Business is prosperous.) Paul Smith, the doctor, cures the people sometimes. When he doesn’t he leaves them to Richard Browne, the undertaker. Edward Landry, the efficiency engineer has figured out
